Answer:

Both its temperature and its thermal energy will increase.

Explanation:

Objects are made up of particles. For example, water is made up of water molecules. The kinetic energy of a particle of mass $m$ and velocity $v$ is equal to $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot v^2$ ,

The thermal energy of an object measures the total kinetic energy of all its particles.
On the other hand, the temperature of that object measures the average kinetic energy of all these particles.

Water in that pot gains energy when the pot is heated. That would increase the total kinetic energy of these water molecules.

What about temperature? Assume that the number of water particles in the pot stays the same- In other words, assume that water in the pot does not evaporate. As the total kinetic energy of these water molecules increase, their average kinetic energy would also increase. As a result, it would appear that the temperature of water in that pot has increased.

<h2>Answer:2.65 seconds</h2>

Explanation:

Let $a$ be the acceleration.

Let $u$ be the initial velocity.

Let $v$ be the final velocity.

Let $t$ be the time taken.

As we know from the equations of motion,

$v=u+at$

Given, $v=0\\u=8.12ms^{-1}\\a=-3.06ms^{-2}$

$0=8.12-3.06t$

$t=2.65sec$

Nimfa-mama [501]

Complete Question

The compete question is shown on the first uploaded question

Answer:

The speed is $v = 350 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance of separation is d = 4.00 m

The distance of the listener to the center between the speakers is I = 5.00 m

The change in the distance of the speaker is by $k = 60 cm = 0.6 \ m$

The frequency of both speakers is $f = 700 \ Hz$

Generally the distance of the listener to the first speaker is mathematically represented as

$L_1 = \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2}$

$L_1 = \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2}$

$L_1 = 5.39 \ m$

Generally the distance of the listener to second speaker at its new position is

$L_2 = \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2 + k}$

$L_2 = \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2 + 0.6}$

$L_2 = 5.64 \ m$

Generally the path difference between the speakers is mathematically represented as

$pD = L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * \lambda}{2}$

Here $\lambda$ is the wavelength which is mathematically represented as

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$

=> $L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * \frac{v}{f}}{2}$

=> $L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * v}{2f}$

Here n is the order of the maxima with value of n = 1 this because we are considering two adjacent waves

=> $5.64 - 5.39 = \frac{1 * v}{2*700}$

=> $v = 350 \ m/s$

you read a primary source and a secondary source that discuss the same experiment. There is a difference in the conclusion made

Nuetrik [128]

You should trust the primary source more.

This is because the primary source is make its conclusion from direct observation, while the secondary source is possibly making reference to another secondary source or to another primary.

The primary source should be trusted more because it is from direct observation.

What are the difference between conductor and insulator?

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

A conductor allows energy e.g. electric charge or heat to pass through it easily. While an insulator does not let electric current or heat to travel through it.
Insulators have strong molecular bonds. While molecular bonds are very weak in conductors.
Insulators have very low conductivity. While in conductors, it is very high.
Insulators have a very high resistance and therefore the electrons are held together very firmly. The conductors, on the other hand, have a very low resistance.
Insulators do not have any electric field, neither inside nor on the surface. While in conductors, it is found on the surface and continues to be zero in the inner part of the conductor.
